Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2026
Inside Out Counseling & Consulting (“IO”) respects the privacy of visitors to insideoutliving.org. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected and handled when you use this website.
This Privacy Policy applies to the public website. It is separate from IO’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how protected health information is used and disclosed in connection with counseling services.
Information You Provide
IO does not currently collect personal information through a contact form on this website.
If you choose to contact IO by email, your message is sent through your own email provider rather than through the website. Email may not be a secure method for communicating sensitive or confidential information. Please avoid including sensitive clinical information in an initial email.
The website may also provide an option to voluntarily subscribe to IO newsletters or other communications. If you choose to subscribe, information such as your email address may be collected and used to send the communications you requested. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.
Scheduling Services
Online scheduling is provided through SimplePractice, a third-party service. When you follow a scheduling link from this website, you leave insideoutliving.org and provide information directly through the SimplePractice platform.
Information submitted through SimplePractice is handled according to the privacy and security practices applicable to that service and IO’s obligations regarding protected health information.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this website and its hosting or technology providers may automatically collect limited technical information necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website. This may include information such as IP address, browser or device type, pages requested, and date or time of access.
IO does not currently use this website to sell visitors’ personal information or for targeted advertising.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website is built using WordPress. WordPress, the website’s hosting provider, or installed website components may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, functionality, or performance.
Additional third-party technologies may be added as website features change. This Privacy Policy may be updated when those changes materially affect how visitor information is collected or used.
Third-Party Content and Links
The website contains links to services and websites operated by third parties. IO does not control the privacy practices of those third-party websites.
The website may also include embedded content, such as videos or social-media content. Embedded content may allow the third-party provider to collect information about your interaction with that content according to its own privacy practices.
Health Information and Clinical Services
Visiting this website does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship with IO.
Information concerning counseling services and protected health information is governed, when applicable, by federal and state law and IO’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
For sensitive clinical communications, current clients should use the communication methods designated by IO for clinical services rather than the public website or ordinary email.
Data Security
IO takes reasonable measures to protect information within its control. However, no website, email service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to This Policy
IO may update this Privacy Policy as the website, its features, or applicable privacy practices change. The current version will be posted on this page with the date of the most recent update.
